W. Cleon Skousen

W. Cleon Skousen is best remembered as a popular author, speaker and teacher who lectured in every state and province in North America, and in more than 60 countries world-wide. He was a student of history and a scholar of law, specializing in the principles of Freedom, the U.S. Constitution, economics, and ancient history and scriptures.

He was invited to write a new constitution for Canada and the proposed United States of Latin America, and he published a model constitution that could be adopted by nations everywhere. He served in the FBI for 16 years, four years as Chief of Police in Salt Lake City, and ten years as a university professor. He was a prolific writer and produced three national best sellers, The Naked Communist, The Naked Capitalist, and The Five Thousand Year Leap. Eight of his books were used as college texts, and several were translated and published in other countries.

Dr. Skousen was born in Canada, and returned to the U.S. with his family at age ten. He spent two years in Mexico, two years in England, graduated from San Bernardino College in California, and received his juris doctor degree from George Washington University Law School. He was admitted to practice law in the District of Columbia and before the District Court of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court.

His seminars on the Constitution have been taught to several million across the U.S., and among his students were dozens of U.S. Senators and Representatives, two Supreme Court justices, and several candidates for President. He believed knowledge and understanding were key to maintaining a free country, and spent his entire adult life opening up complex issues for deeper understanding by students and audiences all around the world.

Mr. Skousen and his wife, Jewel Pitcher of San Bernardino, California, are the parents of eight children, 50 grandchildren, and more than 120 great-grandchildren.

Karl Marx–Taken from The Naked Communist
Karl Marx first saw the light of day at Treves, Germany, May 5, 1818. He certainly had no need to apologize for his progenitors. For many generations his male ancestors on both sides had been outstanding scholars and distinguished rabbis. However, the father of Karl Marx decided to break the ties of the past both religiously and professionally. He withdrew his family from the local synagogue to join the congregation of a local protestant faith and the

Socialists Say The Darnedest Things!
A benefit of modern social media is the means to capture and share socialists speaking their mind. Normally this would cause great alarm—if anybody was listening. Their messages that are meant to stir up envy and then to threaten forceful change as a solution is a frontal assault on constitutional freedoms. Unfortunately, the incessant drumming of their mantra has caused far too many voters to turn a deaf ear. Had the American public been listenin

Back in the early 1960s W. Cleon Skousen outlined the 45 Communist Goals in his book The Naked Communist. Given all the recent political events and current rulings by the Supreme Court, Izzard Ink has received a great deal of inquiry and questions about these communist goals. While some of the goals read as if applicable only to headline events of the 1950s, the principles upon which they are based make them as modern as today. Current 45 Communist Goals

Thomas Jefferson’s Answer to a Runaway Supreme Court
One of the gaping holes left in the Constitution by the Founding Fathers was a check on the U.S. Supreme Court. There was no process put in place to prevent the Court from exercising its prejudiced will instead of exercising unprejudiced judgment.
Thomas Jefferson saw this potential problem early on: “The opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not … would make a judiciary a despo

Lizzy’s Socialist Economics Lesson
All she wanted was a little extra change to buy new tires for her bike.
Grandma’s recipe for lemonade was simple—-real lemons, sugar, lemon peel and a special ingredient that gave it a thirst-quenching zing, a secret, grandma said, that came from her great-grandparents in Italy.
Lizzy mixed the ingredients, added ice, stirred up a gallon and set up shop on the sidewalk in front of her home. “Lemonade, 25 Cents a glass,” her sign read.

Rulers Law has been the default form of government for billions of people for thousands of years. The Founding Fathers identified ten major elements of Ruler’s Law that were being wielded like a bludgeon in the hands of King George and his monarchial administration:[1] Bully Tactics: Authority under Ruler’s Law is nearly always put in place by force, violence, and conquest. Might Makes Right: All sovereign power is considered to be in the hands of the conquerors or their descendants. C

From A to Izzard is an old phrase similar to our present day “From A to Z”. In the 1750s the letter z had three different pronunciations depending if you were British, Scottish or American.
